The Details
You can easily picture yourself enjoying your mornings on the front porch of this three-bed, two-bath family home in Northridge, a mature, family-friendly neighbourhood in the northeast. Your lawn and garden in front of you, mature trees shading the front yard, your neighbours strolling past ― it’s an alluring image for potential buyers of this property.
This home is a backsplit, so it’s a convenient option for multi-generational families or those with older children who want a bit more independence in the home. The entryway opens into an open-concept space, with the living room to your left and the kitchen straight ahead. The living room centres around a wood-burning fireplace and the whole floor has been upgraded with a clean, modern design style.
The kitchen is spacious and functional and features sleek quartz countertops, an extra-long kitchen island with bar seating, tiled backsplash and plenty of storage. Appliance-wise, this home has an impressive gas range, a large double-door fridge and dishwasher.
There’s more living space on the first lower level, another family room that centres around a gas fireplace and brick mantle. This room provides flexible options as well, with the potential to be used as a larger bedroom (there’s also a storage room that could be used as a walk-in closet). Also downstairs is a newly renovated five-piece bathroom, featuring a gorgeous soaking tub and walk-in shower, plus double vanity. On the next level down you’ll find more finished space that would be ideal for a home office or home gym. The home’s laundry room is also located on this level.
Heading back upstairs to the top level of the home you’ll find the three main bedrooms, each generously sized and with lots of closet space. This level is completed by a four-piece bathroom, which has a shower-tub combo and a large double vanity.
Located on a corner lot, ample yard space wraps around the house, with a large driveway accessed from the side. The home also features a fenced-in backyard that features a concrete slab patio for easy maintenance. The home also has central air installed.
It’s a perfect property for anyone who is looking to move into a classic residential neighbourhood. Families in particular will be drawn to this property. It’s located near great schools, churches and parks, and has safe, speed-controlled streets to keep the kids entertained. What’s more, the Kilally Meadows trail system is right in your backyard, with access points located just down the street.
